Not experienced those views on here as i posted another BG thread a few threads below this one and the views were supportive of a young fellow Glaswegian doing well, with maybe an understandable wish that he had remained another season or so, on loan maybe - especially if he hadn't broken into the Chelsea 1st team so early.

Was at the game yesterday and saw Gilmour at close quarters. His main ability is his quick feet and passing accuracy. He is able to turn quickly where larger opponents are left flat footed and unable to react. I can see him emerging into a Paul Scholes type player that is box to box and will add goals to his game as he matures and becomes more confident in being part of the 1st team. If i was Scotland boss i'd build the team around him, as you say there isnt another as good as him in the Scottish squad.

That's their season in a nutshell - shoddy defending.

Now we are fucked!!!!

He was great, pass and move and good positioning. Well deserved MoM.

Ok, which one of you toe rags has got it?? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-51729113

I take it you are a Quidditch fan then Bill

Fantastic spirit, didnt see that coming after last few weeks!!

FIFA have been proved to be, and Platini's reign at UEFA cast a shadow over that organisation as well.

Well that's that then

I wouldn't touch Allardyce with a shitty stick. If we are playing this game, then Sean Dyche would be another matter. I agree with earlier poster that it's more likely that SG would walk rather than him being sacked.

Chelsea's 18 year old Scottish midfielder has now moved up to the first team full time. From Chelsea Website: Glaswegian Gilmour, who joined Chelsea from Rangers in 2017 and has been capped up to under-21 level for his country. "It's the first big step I think, moving into the first team dressing room at a club like Chelsea," said Gilmour. It's a pity Rangers couldn't have loaned him back for this season but good luck to him going forward for both the Blues and Scotland. Any views?

I still think the squad is on the thin side, something that can hopefully be addressed in pre season. We are reliant on a few key players and when some are unavailable the team struggles. On Talsport today people were saying that Morelos should be sold to fund 3 quality players that would strengthen the team further, one of them being a new striker.

Yes we seem now to be a bunch of weaklings and people moaning if anyone stands up, shouts, etc etc. At lot just to prefer to sit quietly in their seats and hardly do/say anything # middle aged moan of the day

Making bloody hard work of this!!

No 4 for me.

Needs putting down.

£5-£7m is a bargain when you consider there are some players in EPL League 1 costing that much. I think he will grow and develop and be worth every penny.

Maybe the gossip is being generated by agents?

He did!!

Totally agree, every time a goal is scored in the EPL there is a pause as a large percentage of goals are referred as the defending team puts pressure on the ref even if there hasn't been an incident - they hope VAR spots something!! It has reduced the spontaneity and atmosphere within the ground. I'd defer VAR until we see it working properly.

Boxing day football Spurs 2 Brighton 0 Aston Villa 1 Norwich 0 Bournemouth 2 Arsenal 1 Chelsea 3 Southampton 1 Palace 1 West ham 1 Everton 2 Burnley 0 Sheffield 1 Watford 1 United 1 Newcastle 0 Leicester 2 liverpool 1 Wolves 0 Manchester city 2

Very good win i'd say

Down to ten men, we should have used the width more instead of trying to thread the ball through the middle. Seemed like we gave everything in the first half with little left thereafter.

All positive so far. Just need to get one and i think that will be enough. Cmon!!
